Using the SIM Card
You will receive a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card from your service
provider that is required for use with your phone. The SIM card is a smart
card that contains your service details and memory for storing phone
book entries and messages.
Your phone has limited functionality without the SIM card, so you want to
install the card before using your phone.
SIM Card Care
You may want to keep your card with you when you are not using your
phone. This helps keep your personal information secure and gives you
access to your service even if your phone is not available.
Important: Do not bend or scratch your SIM card, and avoid exposing your
card to static electricity, water or dirt.
